Sorry, I asked too quick..
Seemed to have taken a little while to make the file.

All I did was open the preferences pane, looked under all the tabs without changing anything, clicked “ok” button, few minutes later (while I was writing the previous question) the file was made.

Cheers.

What exactly do I have to change in the preferences panel?

OS10.5, iMac intel core duo
MAMP 1.7.1
com.living-e.MAMP.plist does not exist
Start page does open when I click “Open start page” button in the actual MAMP application.

It doesn’t matter that much since it works, but kind of bothers me that the handy looking widget doesn’t work….

Thanks.

At first it did not work for me. The com.living-e.MAMP.plist file did not exist. I followed your recommendation to change something in the preferences panel. I tried it a couple of times. At least for me, I had to have the servers on for the changes to take effect. The file was created and the widget works fine now. Excellent job!

Thanks for the fix. It didn’t work in the first place, because there was no key named »startPage« in my “com.living-e.MAMP.plist” file. . I simply added it with the value “/MAMP” and it worked. Hope that helps those who are still stuck.” (By the way, I use PrefEdit to view and edit plist-files)

I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried changing the js file and the com.living-e.plist file does exist. Has anyone found a fix?

still no luck…which is a total bummer, even though its not a huge deal I just like things to work.

I’m running 1.4.1 now.

[...] MAMP (free, open source), a helpful bundle of the latest Macintosh Apache, MySQL and PHP distributions. Easy installation, including a handy Dashboard widget for controlling the servers —although there’s a bug with the widget’s start page control. MAMP has been an invaluable tool for web development! (On a related note, there’s XAMPP for Linux and Windows. XAMPP has a Mac OS X port which supposedly isn’t as mature as MAMP, but I wonder how useful the Linux and Windows versions are. There’s also a Solaris port under development. Anyone have experiences with XAMPP?) [...]

Just yesterday I downloaded the package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mamp/ – without having to fill out any forms. The widget required my fix again, and it worked.
